Pen control practice sheet

I made a line sheet for those that have a hard time with pen control. Just import it as a layer and create a new layer to practice tracing the lines. 

Once you improve, you can color-select the blue lines and delete them so you just have the dots. Then try to redraw the blue lines as best you can. When you’re drawing it’s more like you’re connecting two points with a line so I like doing it that way better.

So I’m not sure what to call this

But I figured I’d at least try to impart my knowledge of (hank hill voice) weapons and weapon accessories.

If you like this, tell me, and I might do another tutorial some time!

Small physical things that give your characters personality

How they smile

What their “tell” is for lying

Posture

Volume of speech, if they’re verbal

Nervous tics

How much eye contact do they make

In a group conversation, how close do they stand to others? Are they off to the side just listening and occasionally speaking or are they right next to people?

When standing, what do they do with their hands? Talk with their hands, cross their arms, put hands in pockets, prop up against the wall, etc

The sound of their footsteps

Nonverbal greetings: do they wave, nod, hug, glare, punch, high five, something else?

How do they get others’ attention? Raise hand, clear throat, etc

when I am listening to love songs, it doesn’t mean I’m thinking about me being in a relationship! 

IT MEANS I’M THINKING ABOUT MY SHIPS IN ROMANTIC SETTINGS!!!

Quick and easy way to establish rules in your fantasy/scifi universe!

This can apply both to magic and fictional science, because it’s essentially just a magic system in disguise!

There is a whole spectrum from hard systems (with a very particular set of rules that can’t be broken) to soft systems (characters don’t know everything about the rules and the workings or the rules are flexible). Where on this spectrum your system falls depends on you and your story.

A good way to start out is by asking three questions:

What is possible? What is impossible? What is the price?

Two stupid examples:

Fantasy: With this magic shoes you can fly ten feet above the ground. But you can only fly up, not forward. And your feet will hurt like hell for the next three days after you’ve used them.

Scifi: With this laser gun you can shoot people to stun them. But you can’t kill them with it. And to power it you need to buy a bunch of those little button batteries you never seem to get anywhere.

Try starting with those questions and work from there.

If you want to learn more about building a magic system and scifi/fantasy writing in general, check out these free lectures on youtube by author Brandon Sanderson, I learned a lot!

Okay so I just watched Kitbull again (if you haven’t seen it I highly suggest you do, it’s the cutest animated short ever) and I still can’t tell you how much I love it, because it shows what most Pitbulls go through, and that they are not a “vicious breed”. The breed has never been the problem, it’s been the owners. Pitbulls aren’t “born bad”, they’re raised bad, and more people need to start waking up and realizing this. Pitbulls are loyal and kind dogs. The whole breed should not be labeled as “dangerous” or killed off just because a few were not properly taken care of. It’s just wrong. Don’t blame the breed for what the people have done. And this doesn’t just go for Pitbulls, this goes for every single type of dog and cat out there. If you get a pet, treat it with care, love, and respect. They’re living things who have feelings just like you do. Treat them well for god’s sake. It shouldn’t be difficult

Okay, I’m done ranting now. But I do wanna say one more thing, if you don’t agree with anything that has been said above, get the hell off my blog you heartless son of a b*tch

Sketchfab 3D Models

I love this site because it’s great for references, even if you don’t 3D sculpt! I’d love to get into that eventually though, because it sounds amazing. 

https://sketchfab.com 

What’s lit is you can easily drag and rotate the model (some are animated!) and adjust the lighting/rendering, all from a web browser. 

They also have a mobile app with AR. 

I love using the models!

If you make an account, you can subscribe to collections to track for updates. I have ones for anatomy and animals. 

Note, these models have a royalty free license. It’s often good to credit your references, but royalty free licenses mean you are fine if you don’t. 

Hope you love this as much as I do!

Pidgance is adorable pass it on.
